Bios Password reset

Q:Bios Password reset

Hello all,

I need some help, I'm trying to remove a bios password off of a friends laptop. I have removed bios passwords before on desktops by resetting the jumper. What i would like to know is if anyone knows how to reset a bios password without tearing into the laptop and resetting the jumper. Are there any freeware tools available to flash the bios and reset it? What are my options? I would like to keep tearing the laptop apart as my last resort. Thanks in advance for the help!

Laptop Specs known:

Toshiba Satellite L505DWindows Vista 32bitAMD TurionX2BIOS Specs:

Insyde H20 (no version type is shown on start up splash screen, sorry)If you need to know more please ask.

Thanks again,

Randy.

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

Trying to reset the password on and old C400, it is asking for primary or administrator password. I have no idea what to put in there, and can't see if the computer will function at all! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You'll need to call Dell with verification of ownership -- it may not be worth it though, since the call will cost about $60, which is probably about six times more than the entire system is worth.The other option is to replace the mainboard - which is probably well under $60.

Hi, http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01701270 Clearing the BIOS passwordThe BIOS password is used to protect BIOS settings from unwanted changes. If you have forgotten your password you may disable password checking.To erase the BIOS password follow these steps:Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.Locate the jumper labeled Clear P.W. The jumper is found at the lower right edge of the motherboard.Move the jumper on jumper Clear P.W. to pins 1-2.Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.Hold down the F10 key during the startup process and enter BIOS setup to change or clear the password.After changing or clearing the BIOS passwords, remember to reset the jumper to pins 2-3.

Hi, Try the following. Shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and remove the battery. Remove the rtc cell from the system board - see Page 57 of your Maintenance & Service Guide. Hold down the power button for 60 seconds. Leave the machine like this for a few hours, then re-insert the rtc cell, plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the main battery out for now ) and start the notebook. Unfortunately, if this procedure doesn't clear the password, it probably indicates that 'Stringent Security' has also been enabled in the bios - if that's the case, there is no way of removing/resetting the password.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, the hard drive crashed on it and I bought a new one and was going to install a new operating system on it. When I inserted the Windows 7 disk I find out it won't boot from the cd drive. I go into bios to change the setting and there's a system admin password that I didn't know about or don't remember that's keeping me from changing any bios settings. I've researched and tried everything, is there anything I can do to bypass this password so I can boot from the cd drive?

I bought a used HP Elitebook 2570p from an Ebay seller, but this has the BIOS administrator password set. Is there any way to remove the password, or reset the BIOS? I've tried a couple of tools I found on the internet, which didn't work (didn't brick anything either) and the vendor says they don't have the password. They'll take it back, but I'd like to get it to work if I can. I have the SKU, serial an UUID. Thanks

Hi, Your notebook is producing a hexadecimal halt code which is stored in ram as a 'one off' and will be re-calculated after a reboot. This indicates you have one of the later AMI bios's and unfortunately none of the current code generators will work for this - surprisingly, you can still remove a power on password from the machine by removing the rtc cell ( leave the power board connected ) then hold down the power button for 60 seconds before re-inserting the rtc. The bad news is that the rtc is on the 'wrong' side of the system board so will require quite a lot of disassembly. The only other option would be to Contact HP regarding this. Regards, DP-K

A:Reset BIOS password

Is there a lockout code? Normally that is shown on HP notebooks after three incorrect entries of a BIOS admin password. It should be numeric.

To remove the BIOS passwords you need to short the 2 contacts marked RTC RESET. Remove the memory cover. Look for the 2 contacts between wireless card and memory. Remove main battery and AC. Use a small flathead screwdriver to short the 2 contacts. Passwords are gone. If STRINGENT SECURITY is enabled this will NOT work. Let us know if it works for you.

Used an x-acto knife because the blade is thinner than on a screwdriver. When attempted to short with the screwdriver, the short did not happen because the spacing is extremely small. Accepted as Solution.
